Muscling its way onto the gourmet directory without rubbing shoulders is Teatro Limón, an upscale formal restaurant.
Operated by expatriates, Mr & Mrs Bruce Pelon, himself the head chef, the restaurant is on a solitary cobblestone road near the Vallarta Marina in a residential neighborhood. Teatro Limón is an extention of the proprietors' home--literally. And as it is outside of Downtown Centro, no other restaurants come near it--again, literally.
The first surprise of Limón concerns eating there. One must have a reservation. Walk-ins are not customary. Secondly, and more surprisingly, there is no menu! Guests are treated to whatever five-course delight the chef has designed. Each course is presented with professional service and timing. Foods are prepared fresh and with fresh ingredients, choice meats, and culinary prowess. In fact, several times during the dinner I saw Mr Pelon stepping out to pick herbs and peppers form his gardan. Talk about organic!
While not ridiculously priced---meals generally run forty to forty-five U.S. dollars---it may appear so when presented in Mexican currency and especially if one, like myself, has grown used to comparitively cheap national costs.
